My god that’s so much simpler than the front. Thank you
Excellent tutorial guys . Thank you
Thank you for your feedback!
We are glad to know this tutorial was useful to you.
Stay tuned for more!
Best regards,
Autodoc team!
Thanks guys very helpful 👍
Fair warning to anybody planning on doing a DIY replacement, there’s a good chance that the bottom bolts on each side are super corroded so be ready to use some man power to get them out.
We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.
Here’s a good tip and I just encountered, make sure you have a Jack stand on the subframe inner for the car, put a 21 mm wrench, and use your Jack to cheat it out
Appreciate how thorough the video is especially the torque specs, thank you🙌🏻🙌🏻
How do Ik the torque specs irl
Thanks for the video. Not sure I understand the need for spraying copper grease on the heads of all the bolts, is that just a personal preference?
Used as corrosion protection.
Is that torque 84nm correct for large lower bolt? Many other search is showing 150nm plus 180 degree turn. That's a big difference.
You are right, the catalog torque is 150 Nm + 180 °.
Thank you for your attention to the details.
We made a mistake in the credits. Unfortunately, we cannot change them, but we will add information to the description.
AUTODOC
Beautiful work 👍
Thank u sir ,sending from china
Can someone provide part numbers for the driver socket and the shock absorber socket ? I can't find them on Autodoc and i've emailed them but no help.Pause the video at 3:22.
Just use vise grips on the flat and a ring spanner around the nut
Is the shock absorber socket a necesairy tool, or can i use a normal socket for this job?
Its painfull without.
The size of shock you put on this saloon got the same one 20lt tdi 2013 cnt find size please size on current shock 8k0 035AM
Torque correct for Lower Bolt is 150NM + 180” with preload of the suspension

if you want to be better i would suggest you stop publishing videos until you actually know what you are doing. Your incompience and bad faith extends far beyond your sales and logistics
Are you out of your mind? I've been using Autodoc for years and have shipped to various countries. Their logistics and products have been amazing 99% of the time.@@alpurser8039
Hello two questions in one
1) Before you torque down the shock absorber to, I believe, the wheel bearing housing, do you jack to obtain a distance from the top of the wheel arch to the center of the wheel or is it to slightly take it off that corner support of the two post lift?
2) Could one doe the final torque using ramps? Essentially torque the shock mount, lightly tighten the shock absorber to the housing, put the wheels on, reverse onto ramps and then torque to spec for the shock to the housing.
Thank you!
1) Jack up the suspension till it lifts the car off the axle stand and then torque down any bolts that go through rubber bushings, in this case the bolt that bolts the shock absorber to the wheel bearing housing.
2) Yes you could also do your torquing on ramps since the only reason you jack up the suspension to do the final torques on bolts that go through a bushing is to simulate the car being on the ground. So either option is suitable.
I don't understand why they do this, along with scrubbing and wd40-ing every bolt. Really weird.
@@georgimatev6377 search a video on TH-cam titled “understanding bushings” it’s very informative and I believe it was the first video that made me understand why they need to be tightened when the car is on the ground or when the suspension is under load. They scrub All the bolts to clean them and help them thread back in easier and they use the copper grease everywhere to prevent future seizing of bolts so it is not difficult to remove if necessary in the future. Making the job easier for the next mechanic.
@@ArtursLapins I will search for that video, thank you!
Good video, thanks. But the rear wheel is mounted in reverse. Switched the wheels, the tires have a rotation direction, not all but the one in video seems to be mounted in reverse.
Thanks for your attention.
Use the Wheel Hanger tool to hold the wheel as you undo it, and re-install it. Undo the top bolt, screw in the hanger, then remove the rest of the bolts. No worries about your wheel falling off.

Good 👍👍👍
Would this be the same procedure for a 2016 (B8) VW Passat SEL?
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More detailed information can be found in the technical documentation for repairing your car.
Hi. I have an audi a4 b8. My rear right bump stop is broken. Does a worn out bump stop make the car bounce up and down constantly at speed between 10 and 40mph? Thanks.
Please clarify or rephrase your question and we will be able to help you.
AUTODOC
No, your shocks are shot
Would the same procedure apply to S4?
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained from the technical documentation for the car or by contacting the car service.
I have an MY15 VW Passat sedan. Is this video applicable for this vehicle?

Do you or anyone have a link to the #DD6 tool?
Thanks for your feedback! Please clarify or rephrase your question.
@@autodocuk The tool you use, called «shock absorber socket dd6», can you put a link to this product?

Guys I can’t remove the lower bolt,it’s to hard to remove it,because I’m using floor Jack,some tips ?
weak
👍
You forgot to put toothpaste on the brush.
I am being charged 1500 Namibian dollars about U$ 100.74 for the same job, is it fair?
**PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL. THE TORQUE SPECS IN THIS VIDEO WERE WRONG. THE BOLTS ON MY CAR STARTED TO COME LOOSE BECAUSE I WAS REFERENCING THE TORQUE SPECS HERE. THIS COULD BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE TORQUE SPECS, DON’T INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR VIDEOS.**

Wrong torque values

why are you promoting so fiercly wd-40? Are they paying you ? There are truly efficient and cheaper sprays out there.
can you share with us which one?
@@todorandonov9876 permantex makes a wonderful one and q20 which is even better, both of which last substantially longer and you don't have to respray often like wd40.
@@ΣΤΑΥΡΟΣΓΚΕΡΛΕΣ Where can you get Permatex in the UK?
what does copper grease do?
Copper grease is needed for protection items against corrosion, seizing and sticking of car parts operating at high temperatures and loads.
